2. Enter the 'Control Panel' – 'Devices and Printers' – 'Add a device' – select 'Bluetooth' to add the device to your computer.
3. Click 'Next'. The scanner will beep to indicate a successful pairing, and the light will turn solid blue.

2. Android: Connect Android Device in Basic Mode

1. Power on the scanner. Make sure the scanner is discoverable (unpaired). A few seconds later, the blue indicator will keep flashing.
2. Touch Home | Menu | Settings | Wireless & Networks | Bluetooth settings.
3. Make sure the device has Bluetooth "On". Scan for devices.
4. In the list of found devices, select "Netum Bluetooth". Tap Pair.
5. The scanner will connect to the Android device.
6. The scanner will beep once after it has connected and is ready to scan barcodes.

3. Pairing with your iOS device

1. Power on the scanner. Make sure the scanner is discoverable (unpaired). A few seconds later, the blue indicator will keep flashing.
2. Click on "Bluetooth" in the left column. Your iOS device will automatically start searching for any Bluetooth Devices in the area.

Operation Mode

A) BT HID Mode (Default)*

No software installation is needed. Connects to most devices with Bluetooth or USB interface. In this mode, the scanner interacts with the device like a keyboard. Therefore, the scanner will work with Safari, Notes, and any other applications that support an active cursor.

BT HID Mode

Note: This command barcode is only applicable for Bluetooth Wireless Mode.

Keyboard Language

In order to let the scanner upload codes correctly, you must set the keyboard language before you use it.

For example: If you use a French Keyboard, scan the "French Keyboard" barcode. After that, the scanner will upload barcodes according to the French keyboard layout. American Keyboard is set by default; if you use a US keyboard, you can skip this part.

Available Keyboard Language Barcodes:

• American Keyboard *
• Portugal Keyboard
• French Keyboard
• Spanish Keyboard
• Germany Keyboard
• Turkey Q Keyboard
• Italy Keyboard
• Turkey F Keyboard

B) Application Mode (SPP)

For Android or Windows only. Software installation is required. If you have an application that supports mobile scanners, this is the recommended mode.
